At Sunday's US Gymnastics Championships in Kansas City, Missouri, Biles landed a historic triple-double during her floor exercise routine. The maneuver is so difficult that Biles is the first female gymnast to ever land it in competition. Biles then went on to take home the gold medal.
Her fan base of equally fearless women cheered her on.
"The Good Place" actress and body-positive activist Jameela Jamil tweeted: "It's exciting to be alive when she's alive so we get to witness her."
